Summary: Set in S5, since Kat's human. They get separated in the sewers and she gets injured. Can she be saved? Will she live?663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJV8CFs9eU
It was a dark night in Mystic Falls, Virginia in the sewers as Damon broke the surface of the water. One minute they were running through the sewers to lose Silas. The next minute they were separated when the sewers suddenly filled with water. Now, as he looked around at the surface of the water, he couldn't see her. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLKgVd61FQ
"Katherine!" he yelled for her, over and over, hoping to hear her or for her to hear him.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiaBZ0Q2rr
He dove under the water again, this time deep enough to see the bottom. When he did, he saw her on her back, head against a rock, blood on the left side of her head. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5FBRFw8DL
Finally, he though, as soon as he saw her. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDwEu7rhjj
Once he reached her, he gently put an arm around her waist, back against him, and soon surfaced with her. Then, looking around, he saw land made of rock that hadn't been touched by the water, so he made his way over there. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXOtRolFBf
Once he was by it, he slid an arm under her legs and the other under her back. He then stepped onto dry land and a ways away from the water, he gently layed her down on her back and looked down at her. Now having her on dry land, he could see that she was pale with blue lips and her head wasn't her only injury. Her stomach was injured as well, which looked like a stab wound, but whatever had stabbed her wasn't there. Also, with vamp hearing, he couldn't hear her breathing or hear her heart. So, realizing she needed revived, he did his best, giving her some air and some heart compressions.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4EPM8HoRV
"Come on, Katherine. Come on; Breathe. Come back to me," he said, as he did what he remembered from back when he had fought in the war in 1864. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsUckpruB7Y
A few minutes later, she coughed, eyes still closed, but alive. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsNnygB83o
He sighed in relief. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxtKvO8p1p
A moment later, feeling pain, she groaned. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9YarPRK0g
"Katherine," he said. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdXJmHWiB6
"Damon?" she whispered, feeling weak from blood loss. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnlDBY9Wya
He gently took her jacket off and used it to apply pressure to her lower stomach wound. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYDzNgpqsO
"It's me," he assured her. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8nptyKh8U
She gasped in pain and slowly opened her eyes to look up at him. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3ySYD179F
"You saved me." She gave a weak smile. "Thanks."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFNsPwUixX
"I haven't saved you yet," he answered her. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVTiuc17mW
Starting to see things blurry and having had a mother who, in this century would've been a nurse, suddenly said, "I think I have a concussion or worse."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lRhkkzoic
Realizing she was about to go under again, he knew there wasn't much he could do. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCKh5Zb7vq
"Hey; Katherine? Stay with me. You hear me? Stay with me."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihtibDJOoy
A moment later, she was swimming in darkness.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSsol9sKIT
He took her right hand and rested it on top of her jacket he was using to try and stop the bleeding. He then took a flashlight out of his jacket and used it as a doctor would to look at her eyes to examine her. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJf83FkZ2u
"Katherine, can you hear me? It's me."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaClIyebv9v
A moment later, he put the flashlight away and stopped, realizing she was right. She had a possible concussion. She was also losing a lot of blood. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltOyWBLGO0
"Stay with me, Katherine. Keep fighting," he encouraged her, as he used a strip of his jeans to care for her head injury. It was all he could do for now until he could get the chance to find a way to get out. There were rocks blocking both ways out, though. He knew he had to find a way though, before she ran out of air to breathe. He also knew that she was dying. It just depended on whether blood loss would kill her first or lack of air. He couldn't feed her his blood because of what the cure had done to her. He couldn't even properly take care of her wounds without a hospital. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNpXS9dOQ1
Soon, he was able to tie the strip around her head and head wound.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3XuW80CD9
"I'll get you out of here. I promise. You just need to hang in there," he promised, hoping it was true, as he heard her breathing growing uneven and raspy. He knew it was either the blood loss or the air running out. Then, as he looked her over, he realized that her right collar bone looked dislocated.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOtaWjz7f9
He sighed and then gave her a kiss on the forehead. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjAQrFYOz2
"I'll be back as soon as I can. I'm gonna find a way out of here."663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiI2kIZUKiP
He got to his feet and went to do just that. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vvpV96Whl

A few hours later, after making a hole in the roof of that part of the sewers, he made it out and into the woods with her. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sYYnUmu0v
A ways away from the hole, he gently layed her down on her back. Before he had made the hole, she had ran out of air.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL4s3u5VlX
He knelt beside her and gently kissed her, giving her air, before doing heart compressions.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHCpj3pY2o
A few minutes later, she coughed and barely saw that she was in the woods with Damon.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pLDAdXYe1
He gently pulled her into his arms and got to his feet, heading for the hospital. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpfyW5KY4C
"Stay with me, Kat," he said, as he blurred to the route to the hospital, her in his arms, still bleeding out. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmfYJN6FAR

Half an hour later, at the hospital, he watched through a window into a room, as doctors did all they could to save her life. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMA0HNSHpTB
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfDVcK9ATw
663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZzpMghoKi
An hour later, she was in the recovery room and he stood at her bedside, waiting for her to awaken. 663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt0WnW0GP3
In the end, she lived and they got back together again.663Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh1Vpugcxu
